RAZOR-STROP HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 721,654, dated March 3, 1903.

Application filed June 5, 1902- Serial No. 110,274. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK H. ANDERSON, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Razor- Strop Hangers, of which the followingis adescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in razor-strop hangers.

As it is necessary to securely and positively hold or support one end of a swing or wall razor-strop while the other end is manually held, it is often difficult, especially while one is traveling, to find any satisfactory thing or object to which to secure or on which to hang or swing a strop.

The object of this invention is to produce a razor-strop hanger which may be inserted into most any piece of furniture, such as a dresser, between the top of a drawer and the casing or stationary part thereof or between a door and its casing and which is provided with a hook or bent-over end for engaging the casing or stationary part to provide a safe and eificient supportfor a razorstrop.

A further object is to provide a hanger for razor-strops, as above outlined, which may be used with or removably secured toa large variety of articles of furniture without the necessity of using screws or like devices for accomplishing the object.

These and other objects I attain by means of a device constructed as described in the specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure, 1 is a side sectional view of a portion of an article of furniture with, a razorstrop hanger embodying this invention shown in side elevation removably secured thereto and with the eye of a razor-strop, a portion of which is shown, secured thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a razor-strop hanger embodying this invention with a fragment of a razorstrop secured thereto. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 3 3 in Fig. 1 looking toward the left.

Throughout the several views like elements are denoted by like characters.

In the drawings, A designates an article of furniture provided with a drawer B.

C designates a razor-strop provided with an eye D. p

The device is preferably struck from a piece of sheet metal of the proper texture and thickness, and consists of a blade-like body portion 4:, adapted to lie between the movable portion of an article of furniture, such as a drawer, and the stationary portion adjacent thereto, a bent-overengaging end 5 for engaging with the back of the stationary portion, a hook-like end 6 for engaging with the eye of a strop, and-a spring-guard or snaplike portion 7 cut and bent up from the body portion to close the hook 6. V

Without departing from the spirit of my invention the construction and form of the device may be varied in diiferent details, and as long as the device comprises a blade-like body portion, an engaging end, and a hooklike end the same will come within the scope and spirit of this invention.

Having thus described c1aim 1. As a new article of manufacture,a,razorstrop hanger having at one end a hook-like agent for engaging withthe razor-strop, and at the other with a bent-over end, and with the portion adjacent to the bent-over end formed thin or blade-like for insertion between two closely-fitting members.

2. As a new article of manufacture,a razorstrop hanger having at one end a snap-hook for engaging with the razor-strop and at the other a bent-over end, and with the portion adjacent to the bent-over end formed thin or blade-like for insertion between two closelyfitting members.

3. As a new article of manufacture,arazorstrop hanger struck from one piece of metal so as to provide a blade-like body portion, a bent-over engaging end,and ahook-like agent for engaging with a razor-strep,

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK H. ANDERSON.
